Representative Experience

After working as an educator in Plano ISD for almost two decades, Shanin graduated from SMU
Dedman School of Law while teaching to earn her JD. With her extensive teaching
background and experience dealing with high conflict parenting issues, Shanin has developed a
reputation among her legal peers for being able to negotiate through complex divorce issues with her
clients while remaining centered on the best interests of the children of the marriage. Since 2013,
Shanin has handled well over 100 cases and has successfully helped clients mediate final divorce
settlements with terms and conditions in those agreements that are conducive to her clients’ successful
co-parenting. She is not afraid to put on her suit of armor and go to battle for her client and their
children in court to achieve those positive results. Family law matters that Ms. Turner has litigated
include child custody, grandparent access, termination of parental rights, paternity, establishing child
support, and child support enforcement actions. Shanin represents clients in Courts throughout the
Dallas metroplex, including Collin County, Denton County, Dallas County, Rockwall County, Smith
County, Ellis County, and Tarrant County, Texas. Shanin is married with four adult children and a house-
full of fur babies.
